Maryann Elizabeth Mae Sanders died Oct. 29 at her home in Woodburn at the age of 83. She was born Oct. 6, 1922, in Bonesteel, S.D., to Lloyd and Louise Willoughby. Her family moved to Empire, Ore. in 1935, and she graduated from North Bend High School in 1941. During World War II, she joined the WAVES, which she loved being part of, and was stationed at the Naval Air Station in Long Beach, Calif., where she met Charles E. Sanders.
